Chapter 1450: Little Sneaky Boy Back At It Again

Shang Xia had seen a True Immortal falling, and he was taken aback by the heavenly phenomena that was produced.

He wondered what kind of disturbance a Sage would cause...

It was the day he was finally going to witness it for himself. At the same time, he was going to experience firsthand the aftermath.

Tossing aside the rays of brilliant light that brought warmth to everything it touched, the density of heaven and earth qi in the Essence Xing World rose so sharply that Shang Xia was surprised.

One had to know that they were already on an Essence World. The Essence Xing World could also be considered much stronger than the average Essence World. There was also a need to note that the Qi Dynasty wouldn’t allow the remnant energy from the death of Qi Jing to spread to the outside world, placing huge formations to contain as much as they could. For a Dao Field, the energy would be better used to nourish themselves, and they could even use it to allow the Qi Dynasty Emperor to attempt a breakthrough to the Martial Emptiness Realm!

The death of Qi Jing was no doubt a signal flare for the other factions to put their plans into motion.

It was a shame that the energy overflowed from the Qi Dynasty and filled the world, creating such a majestic sight.

What Shang Xia found to be a pity was that he was too far away from the Qi Dynasty. The remnant energy produced from the death of the Sage failed to reach him completely. At his current level and accumulations, he was able to examine the energy that was produced that came from the late Sage.

“At least I didn’t come in vain.” Shang Xia sighed helplessly to himself. “However, the factions of the Essence Xing World have probably started to make their move. Gong Zhuo’s transmission should be arriving soon...”

As if on cue a stream of light tore through the south and landed in his hands.

Shang Xia scanned through the information recorded within and he couldn’t help but gasp while mumbling to himself, “So this is what he plans to do. Interesting...”

“However, all of them seem to have forgotten something... With the death of Sage Qi Jing, the energy contained in his body would return to the world. The Essence Xing World would be the greatest benefactor from the sudden influx of energy!” Shang Xia already came up with a plan on what to do. From what he was seeing, his plan didn’t interfere with what Gong Zhuo wanted to do. Whatever it was, he would be able to interfere with the Chen Dynasty Emperor and the Qi Dynasty Emperor anyway. After all, if he messed with the World Origin Source, they would have to use it while ascending and he would thus be able to screw up their plans.

For an outsider like Shang Xia, that was also the perfect time for him to take action! He even felt that he would let down Sage Qi Jing if he didn’t do anything at the moment.

As for what Gong Zhuo wanted to do by cooperating with the other powers... Shang Xia could pretty much guess. After receiving the transmission, he became even more certain.

He wasn’t too optimistic about their plan anyway, and he was even about to sneer and spit at it if he could. He felt that they really thought the emperors of the 2 super dynasties only concerned the dynasties and the remaining 2 Sages would just sit by idly and watch those True Immortals do as they wished.

According to Shang Xia, since Qi Jing passed due to his lifespan ending leaving a power vacuum in the Essence Xing World, the other Sages would definitely make their moves to prevent the situation from going out of hand.

The conflict between the emperors of the dynasties was something they were allowing to happen. After all, Qi Jing might also have had a hand in that before he died.

Shang Xia wouldn’t expect Qi Jing not to leave behind anything after knowing that his life was about to come to an end. In fact, everything that was happening was probably something Qi Jing had fought for before he died.

If Gong Zhuo and other True Immortals tried to fuck with the process, they might very well draw some unwanted attention to their factions!

After thinking about the consequences, Shang Xia made up his mind to work alone. He didn’t wish to easily expose his involvement to the Sages.

Fortunately, Shang Xia still held on to his principles. He might have made a move on the World Origin Source of the Essence Xing World, but he didn’t do anything to the Wanyun Continent.

The banner made from the heavenly screen fragment wrapped itself around him, allowing him to conceal his identity as he flew towards the central continents of the Essence Xing World. When he arrived, he could feel the heightened intensity of the effects after Qi Jing died.

He didn’t stop for too long. Instead, he turned to another direction and flew to a certain location where the borders of the 3 dynasties met. Due to its location, it was a buffer region the 3 dynasties agreed upon.

A buffer region was one way to call it, but it actually maintained a strange sense of balance. Every dynasty wanted to control it, but none of them were able to claim it for their own. Everything was chaotic there, forming a strange equilibrium.

With the death of Qi Jing, the peace of the region that was called the ‘Dynasties Edge’, was broken!

As several people with hidden intentions started to cause trouble, a massive war was waged outside the Qi Dynasty Dao Field and the chaos quickly spread to the Dynasties Edge.

Shang Xia successfully entered the chaotic region because of that and with his current cultivation, as long as he didn’t wish for anyone to discover him, there was practically no one who could notice his tracks.

What was more, a good portion of the Essence Xing World had been drawn to the battle that would determine the control of the Qi Dynasty Dao Field. The trouble brewing in Dynasties Edge couldn’t catch their attention. They felt that as long as the dynasties decided to put a stop to the chaos, they would be able to stomp it out any second.

However, that was exactly where Shang Xia wanted to make his move. He would take the chance when the Sages’ senses were dulled due to the powerful fluctuations of the World Origin Source to openly steal world origin!

If anyone else was in his shoes, creating some sort of connection to the World Origin Source might not be difficult, but controlling and moving it as he wished wouldn’t be possible. In order to do something like that, one would need a Holy Land at the very least, or some sort of powerful grand formation. It wasn’t something that could be created in an instant.

However, that was Shang Xia, the monster who had the Crimson Soul Tablet!

Using his Five Element Movement Art to hide hundreds of feet in the earth, he laid down some simple concealment formations before raising his hand to tap his glabella. A small phantom of a tablet appeared, and it was 3 inches or so long. He didn’t hesitate to stab it straight in the ground below.

Shang Xia’s divine soul sank into the world through the tablet, and in an instant, he felt the mighty existence of the World Origin Source.

No... Actually, he felt 3 distinct separated seas of world origin!
